I have an amazing daughter that is turning six shortly. My husband I have been married for 10 years, living together for 17. We live in Newport, Rhode Island. I enjoy skiing, reading, playing tennis, going to the beach and eating good food. I run an organization called The Capacity Group, which has a mission to build the capacity of nonprofits, foundations and public agencies to better serve their communities. I have an undergraduate degree in Communications and an MBA. I am currently working on my PhD in education. I have raised millions of dollars for nonprofits and developed nationally recognized programming for vulnerable populations from the ground up. I am passionate about improving our communities. I grew up in the foster care system so I have a particular interest in disenfranchised or marginalized populations. I believe that we each contribute to the problems we face whether it is through action or inaction. I succeeded in educational environments despite my home life and I have always thought deeply about those who do not succeed. My interest in education and education reform is focused on how to improve schools so they better meet the needs of all, regardless of their circumstances. I am concerned about offering an education that helps individuals become productive, contributing members of a democratic society and also helps them live more full lives as individual human beings.
